I am going to jump in here and mention that LOCAL BUS motherboards are not expensive. Multi-speed and upgradable two slotted (Local Bus) and 6 ISA slots with a 128K cache upgradable to 256K. Can use 33/50/25Mhz 486 cpu. Only drawback is they only hold up to 32MB RAM. However, these can be purchased without the CPU for less than $150.00 AMI BIOS and SIS Chipset. EISA boards with two LOCAL BUS slots start at $400.00. These mothers(boards) have a 256K cache, expandable to 512K and 1MB. Ram is expandable from 4MB to 256MB, 8 EISA slots and 2 VL-BUS slots and a ZIF socket for a Pentium Chip. AMI EISA BIOS and SIS EISA/VL Chipset. I don't mean to be advertising here but from the message thread I got the feeling that you thought the VL boards were very expensive. (In some magazines they are). Merlin G.
